    There is none. I would do a 22-250 AI for several reasons. Dies are more available, better brass is available, and it will out perform the CM.

    That isn't true. Performance wise they're pretty equal.
    Most (smart) people just use 6.5 CM bushing dies,and change out the bushings for 22 CM.
    Better brass? Really! I can use 6 CM brass,6.5 CM brass or even 22-250 brass for the 22 CM

    As far as twist rate goes,a 1-8 will work for up to 80 gr bullets. If you want to shoot the 90+ gr bullets,go with a 1-7. I've got a 1-8 twist on my barrel,but I have 1200 - 75 gr AMax bullets to shoot,and that will pretty much take care of that barrel's usefulness.
